Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby prize money
Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby has been paid $38,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 766th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 400 m, the best of them 2nd.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.

The eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $38,500 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $20,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby in 2011 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $38,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby won?
$38,500, which ranks 766th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2010 and 2017.
What is Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 200 m at the 2013 Adidas Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the women's 200 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Is this everything Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
